Chen Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 anime that I like enough to recommend: Kaiba: thought provoking on the concept of the connection between mind and body, set in a dystopian future (good shit) Princess Tutu: deeper than most magical girl anime but not grimdark Urusei Yatsura: good slapstick and character interactions, over 100 episodes of content plus several movies, you can't go wrong Gankutsuou: the count of monte cristo, but as a space opera Crest of the Stars: another anime in space! mostly focuses on the relationship between a space elf and a human Humanity Has Declined: comedic series about humans, whose population is dying off Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei: comedy about first world problems Petite Princess Yucie: little kids (not really) solve problems and do jobs so that they become better people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcerzak Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Squidgirl is solid comedy. You liked Azumanga Daioh, which I feel is somewhat similar in humor, sort of four-panel gag storylines, though obviously the setting and situations will be different. I remember Chrno Crusade being very solid, and while I can't point to a specific series on your list that it would compare to, I do think from some of the ratings you've shown, that it might fall within your strike zone. Toward The Terra is fantastic, and fairly underappreciated, imo. I got turned onto it by the good taste brigade in the FE4 thread. Pumpkin Scissors was a solid tale. A pretty nice military show, the squad is comprised of mostly normals, except for one big guy who was part of the country's anti-tank soldier research program, which leads in to the crew finding out about some dirty secrets their government is hiding from the people. That sort of story, if I remember correctly. Otome Youkai Zakuro was also a pretty refreshing military-adjacent type show, in a vaguely Meiji-era setting with youkai and other Japanese folklore mixed in. ef: A Tale of memories/melodies is your school romance style show, with jealousy, drama, and love playing out over a canvas of following the stories of several acquainted couples. The first season was better than the second, but I figured based on your rating for e.g. Clannad it might be worth a peek for you. I have many other possible recommendations, but it's probably better not to swamp you all at once. A bunch of the shows other people already mentioned I would also second, if you want particular examples, let me know. I would also love to recommend Chihayafuru, but I have no idea if there are any plans to make a third season or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiToastExplosion Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Zeta's my favorite anime but I wouldn't tell Elieson to watch it without the original MSG. Granted, the compilation movies are pretty good, but... I came here to recommend the original Mobile Suit, actually. Still my favorite anime to this day.
